Linz Airport Mini Guide
Why Should I Visit Linz?
Linz is the third largest city in Austria and is perhaps more representative of an Austrian city than
Vienna or
Salzburg. It’s located on the Danube and so you can cruise this famous river and it also has a quaint old city with plenty of churches, including the cathedral which is Austria’s biggest, seating over 20,000 people.
What’s the Best Way of Getting There?
Nine airlines fly into the city but some of them are seasonal chartered flights taking Austrians to the Mediterranean holiday resorts in summer. From the UK, Ryanair fly from Stansted year round.

OK, Now I’m There, How Do I Get to My Accommodation?
Transport links from the airport are very good. A free three minute shuttle ride will take you to Horsching railway station with onward connections to Linz main station. Buses run directly from the airport to Linz city centre – look out for bus number 601 which takes under twenty minutes and costs less than three euros. You can also pre-book the SMS door to door shuttle which runs between the airport and hotels in the city.
Taxis are readily available from outside the terminal building and the car hire desks are found in the Travelzone. If you’ve pre-booked a car you can speed up your departure from the airport by sending a group member through to complete the final paperwork. Reaching the city or travelling to the north, south or east of the airport take the B139 then the A1 and if travelling west into Germany, take the B1, A25 and A8. If you need further help or if there’s other questions about finding your way around the airport or locality, ask at the Information Desk in the Travelzone between Arrivals and Departures. They also deal with lost luggage here.
I Need Money!
You’ll find a branch of Allgemeine Sparkasse at the airport for currency exchange and general banking together with an ATM.
